Water water everywhere

I am constantly amazed by intelligent people who have absolutely no clue about US geography outside of the Coasts.

 

I was talking to a friend who lives in Vegas - a smart person.  I mentioned that I was heading to the beach for a day of sand volleyball.

 

She replied, “Where is there a beach near Cleveland?”

 

She had a vague idea where the Great Lakes were but never imagined that Cleveland was on a lake.  She thought we were in-land, like the rest of the “heartland” as she calls it.

 

I thought about that as I swam around in between games yesterday.  Headlands was packed, as always, and I am sure that many of the other local beaches were too.  We have such a great resource here with our water and shoreline.  If you don’t take advantage of it regularly, you really should.

 

I am sure the Vegas and other Western people will learn a little more geography as they run out of water and start making inquiries about tapping into our supply.

A good one from Kevin James:

 

“So, computers.  I hear they basically break down to a bunch of ones and zeroes.  I don’t know how that means I can see naked women on my screen, but God bless you people.”
